Charlie Crerar
I am a writer, researcher, and academic philosopher.
I have worked as a Teaching Fellow at the Universities of Sheffield and Leeds, and as a post-doctoral Assistant Research Professor at the University of Connecticut. My academic work focused on what is sometimes referred to as the 'ethics of knowing': the various ways in which ethical and political considerations impact how societies and individuals acquire and use knowledge, and vice versa. In this vein, I have published papers that explore whether or not we can justly dismiss the rhetoric of extremist organisations, what (if anything) is wrong with being an intellectual snob, and how taboos impose pernicious costs on marginalised groups within society. Links to these and some of my other published work can be found below.
I have eight years of teaching experience at universities in the UK and the USA, across of in-person, online, and hybrid teaching modalities. Much of my teaching has been in ethics and political philosophy, though I am also experienced in teaching aspects of theoretical philosophy. Recent courses include War, Terror, and Justice, Ethics of Life and Death, and Philosophy and Social Ethics. In addition to my teaching experience I also have experience designing materials and presenting them to a range of other audiences, from introductory sessions as part of community outreach programmes, to presentations at specialist academic conferences.
I have both a BA (2013, Nidditch Prize) and PhD (2018) in philosophy from the University of Sheffield. I also have an MPhil (2014, Distinction) in international development from the University of Cambridge, and retain an interest in both international justice and in the ethical and other philosophical ideas that underpin and motivate the development industry.
